The Toronto Maple Leafs will have a new captain for the 2024-25 season, with veteran forward John Tavares set to remove the "C" from his jersey, according to multiple reports.
Instead, it will be superstar center Auston Matthews taking up the captaincy for the Maple Leafs, a decision which was reportedly agreed upon by Tavares. TSN's Darren Dreger reports that Tavares has been heavily involved in the process of instating Matthews as captain.
